• Football El Clásico in Las Vegas: Barça is enough with a blow from Raphinha to beat Real Madrid

Real

Madrid

advances in a short step in preseason.

Splashing the famous details, which are nothing more than tentative tests for those who see from the outside,

to want where there is not yet

.

Against the

Mexican Club América

, Carlo Ancelotti's team started distracted, improved with the minutes and ended up dominating the second half.

Benzema made his debut with a goal

, Ceballos shone and Hazard came back in game and result.

The whites came close to winning, which in the final stretch saw former youth squad player Fidalgo

make it 2-2 definitively

.

Real Madrid

arrived later to the match

than the Spanish Television signal.

The white team came out a bit sleepy and paid for it with

a goal against

as soon as they started.

From what was a bad distant shot by former Sevilla

player Miguel Layún

, a pass into space came to Henry Martín, who won

Rüdiger

's position in the area to control and define from low.

The German, by the way, was one

of Ancelotti's novelties

, who returned him to the center of defense to team up with Nacho.



It is one of the areas where the Italian shuffles the most cards, which has already surprised

him by placing him on the side against Barça

.

As a center-back against the Eagles, the German went from forgetfulness to approved high, enough for these heights of summer.

Meanwhile, the left side went to

Mendy in the first part and Alaba in the second

, the two main candidates for the position.

The Austrian, more present from there in attack, had the last of the game with a cross shot that

Óscar Jiménez

took out with a swipe.


Ancelotti

had said that Alaba would only play at left back when necessary.

When the question fell to him after the game,

the Italian was skillful in getting the ball played

.

"Today it was necessary because I had to test Rüdiger as a centre-back," he joked.



It would have been just the win for Real Madrid, who got active in the match as soon as

Karim Benzema

did .

The French made his debut as a starter in an eleven where

only three names were repeated with respect to the classic

: Vinicius, Lucas Vázquez and Rüdiger himself.

And he picked up the thread where he had left it: connector, greaser, and end of the white attack.

He played 45 minutes and left the first bite,

a wall with Asensio in the front

that culminated with a first right hand adjusted to the long post.


Hazard, false nine


From the first to the second act only

Lunin, Lucas Vázquez and Rüdiger

repeated .

There could be two messages: that the Galician is the only replacement for Carvajal and that Ancelotti wanted to try the closest thing to what was perceived as the starting defender,

with the German and Militao in the center

and Alaba on the side.

Or again, to want where there is not yet.



Unlike

against Barça

, the first part was for the CMK and the second for the youngsters ("more rock & roll", as the coach said),

now with Valverde

as a forward man on the right wing and Ceballos completing the center of the countryside.

The player from Utrera is one of those players who still has to resolve his future and against

Club América

he left flashes, either to stay or for those who want him to

raise their offer

.



He shone with changes of rhythm, of orientation, creating spaces more than finding them.

Two of Real Madrid's best chances

in the second half were born from his feet

, a pass into the gap that left Rodrygo almost hand in hand and a ball into the area that ended

in a dangerous shot by Camavinga

.



He was the protagonist in the rise of Real Madrid, who found the

second in a Hazard penalty

.

The Belgian continues to pull Benzema's notes as best he can, making himself the 'false nine' position to which he has been sentenced

Vinicius's explosion

and his performance since he arrived at the white club.



He still needs to improve

.

Like Real Madrid, who came close to victory and tied due to a penalty from Vinicius Tobías in the final stretch.

The

former madridista Fidalgo threw the rod

, the Brazilian took the bait, and although Lunin (advance) saved the first attempt, he did not miss the second.
